In December of 2003 the Root Server System Advisory Committee (RSSAC)
made a recommendation to
the ICANN board regarding adding IPv6 name server addresses to the
root zone for Top Level Domains (TLDs) that request them. The recommendation
also suggested that the IANA adopt certain procedures to deal with potential
(although unlikely) problems that may occur as a result of these changes.

The public comment period for this document will be open until 21 June
2004. Comments will be reviewed, and a final version of the procedure
will be posted on 28 June. Unless there are significant operational considerations
at the root zone level that will prevent implementation, the first of
the IPv6 glue records will be added to the root zone on 28 June.
